ONION MARMALADE
Onion marmalade is kind of a game changer for burgers, grilled cheese, or even a charcuterie board. It's called a marmalade because the knife cut we use is long and stringy, kind of like a citrus.

Steps:
- Thinly slice the onions by first cutting in half, then removing the core at an angle. Thinly slice the onions like a fan. Over medium heat, add the oil followed by the onions. The onions will start to sweat and cook down, releasing their liquid. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring every 2-3 minutes until the moisture is gone, 20 minutes or more as needed, depending on moisture level of the onions.
- When all of the moisture's been cooked out of the onions, turn the heat back to medium, add the sugar, a pinch of salt, and the vinegar and bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar and combine. Turn the heat to low and reduce until the mixture is a thick jam, about 45 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they begin to sizzle and soften, three to five minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt. Turn the heat to low, cover and cook slowly for 45 minutes, stirring often. The onions should melt down almost to a purée. Add the garlic, thyme and capers, and taste and adjust salt. Stir together, cover and simmer for another 15 to 30 minutes until the mixture is sweet and golden. Remove the lid; if there is liquid in the pan, cook uncovered until the purée is thick and the liquid is gone.

Steps:
- Halve and thinly slice the onions, then thinly slice the garlic. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Tip in the onions and garlic and give them a good stir so they are glossed with butter. Sprinkle over the sugar, thyme leaves, chilli flakes if using and some salt and pepper. Give everything another really good stir and reduce the heat slightly. Cook uncovered for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions are ready when all their juices have evaporated, they're really soft and sticky and smell of sugar caramelising. They should be so soft that they break when pressed against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. Slow cooking is the secret of really soft and sticky onions, so don't rush this part.
- Pour in the wine, vinegar and port and simmer everything, still uncovered, over a high heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring every so often until the onions are a deep mahogany colour and the liquid has reduced by about two-thirds. It's done when drawing a spoon across the bottom of the pan clears a path that fills rapidly with syrupy juice. Leave the onions to cool in the pan, then scoop into sterilised jars and seal. Can be eaten straight away, but keeps in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, stir so they are coated with butter, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally to be sure the onions aren't sticking, until they are reduced in volume by two-thirds and are a pale gold color, 1-1/2 hours. Continue cooking, stirring often, until they melt by another one third and turn a deeper golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, season the onions with salt, and pepper if desired, and let cool. Serve alongside roasted meats or fish, as a topping for pizza or a filling for savory tart.

Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Yellow onions are the most common type of onion used for marmalade, but you can also use red or white onions. Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, will also work well.
- Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and caramelize properly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the marmalade from burning.
- Cook the onions slowly: This will allow them to caramelize and develop their full flavor.
- Stir the marmalade frequently: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Add the sugar and vinegar gradually: This will help to prevent the marmalade from becoming too sweet or too tart.
- Taste the marmalade as you cook it: This will help you to adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking.
- Store the marmalade in a sterilized jar: This will help to keep it fresh for up to 6 months.
